The Blue Fairy Book, The Yellow Dwarf, part 1, sentence 24
But the Princess thought so much of herself that she did not consider any one of her lovers clever or handsome enough for her; and her mother, who was getting really angry at her determination not to be married, began to wish that she had not allowed her to have her own way so much.
Who acts: Princess, mother, queen · What happens: think, not consider, get, not marry, begin, wish · To what, where: much, one, mother, queen, own way · Speech: someone speaks here
